IPcoitjpoDTniiriPfl Just in case you've missed stories about this In the past, we're going to repeat some facts: The teeth of school children in Jackson county have the high est rate of dental decay of any area in the state, and Oregon rates high in the nation. This was shown in a survey made by Dr. D. M. Hadjimarkos of the Oregon Dental school, and the figures were repeated by Dr. Lee Mellish, local dentist, at a recent meeting of the board of Jackson County Public Health association. Dr. Mellish urged parents to become concerned about the mat ter, and probably when they are sufficiently awakened to the se riousness of the situation, they will need no further urging. Dr, Mellish said that dental decay is occurring six times faster than local dentists can cope with it. Which probably accounts for the fact that the parents we know are constantly complaining about how often their children must visit the dentist, and what a drain it is on the family budget. Dr. Mellish also stated that the 10-year study of fluoridation of municipal water supplies is now completed with no evidence of harmful effects and with a 65 per cent reduction in decay among children living in areas where the element fluorine is added to the water. The 1950 census showed a new pattern for employment of worn en, according to the United States Department of Agriculture Rural women are beginning to follow their city sisters into the forces of the employed, the census showed, with a fourth of all rural women between the ages of 20 and 50 in the labor force. The survey also showed that there are more women cooks in cafes and restaurants than there were a few years ago, and more waitresses, with fewer waiters. Women are also gaining numer ically in the fields of bookkeeping, cashiering, and as telephone operators and in sales positions. The census also showed that there are more women employed in agricultural work, replacing men who have quit their agricultural jobs. The past week's schedule kept Potpourri running hither and yon at a terrific rate. Monday noon it was the luncheon for Miss Helen S. Moor, dean of women at Oregon State college. There was a gorgeous daffodil corsage at the place where we sat, but since we were quite sure it was meant for someone else, we politely ignored it until Mrs. George Carter explained that it was really for the society reporter. When we protested that we hadn't done anything to deserve a corsage, the dean said "perhaps it isn't for. what you've done in the past but what they hope you will do in the future." Hmmmm. Dean Moor seemed a trifle uneasy over our pencil and paper and stopped during the middle of her talk to ask "are you writing all this down!" Monday night it was the style show which Tudor guild gave at Tally Ho. The guild members really packed the guests in, and already have started to scheme schemes for another year. Part of the polish on this show was due to H. Paul Kliss, Shakespearean actor, and Rod Barrows. The latter works professionally with style shows in Portland and the Kliss-Barrows team turned out a smooth job of commentating and entertainment. Just as an experiment, Barrows did an off-the-cuff commenta tion for the last .half of the show, quickly noting the costume and making apt remarks on material, accessories and general effect. Audience response was good. Afterwards many a person stopped to tell Dr. and Mrs. B. A. Cope what darling models their two small daughters made. "Just a couple of little hams," grumbled Dr. C, good-naturedly. "Did you watch them on the ramp? Neither one would leave until they'd milked the last drop of applause from the audience!" Mrs. Cope received a lot of applause, too, and when the three appeared in mother-daughter outfits, they were introduced as "three girls in blue." Lots of the dresses and suits were exciting, but one of the most exciting was the cocktail dress of polished cotton modeled by Mrs. Ralph McCuIloch. It had a slim dark skirt with flowered tunic top ending in a pouff peplum very, very new looking and just made for tall and slim Mrs. McCuIloch. Thursday night we joined Zonta club members, In honoring Mrs. Brandt Bartels, the club's 1955 woman of the year. Mrs. Bar tels, honored because of her work with deaf children, wore a very full printed spring dress and her slippers were utterly the last word figured like her dress and made with just the one strap across the instep the same kind of footwear which caused Bar rows to remark Monday that the model wore "slippers that almost aren't there." Mrs. Bartels was very surprised it took her quite a few mo ments to regain her composure. Generous Mrs. B. didn't forget to give her fellow-members in Junior Service league credit, too, and said "there really should be a multiple award all the members work hard for the kindergarten." Mrs. Charles Champlin sang for the Zontians and their guests, and when she rose for her numbers, apologized for her appear ance and said "I feel like a new Kem-tone job." Mrs. C. had come directly from the TV station and her show, and wore heavy makeup. When complimented afterwards for her excellent per formances in the show, Mrs. Champlin confessed that it is unre hearsed, that she doesn't own a set, never watches TV and doesn't know what a good TV show should be like. Well, someone does. The vast majority of the American peopie would jail all local Communists, deprive them of citizenship and fire them from their jobs, according to a survey published in Look magazine. In contrast to the views of the rank and file, of Americans, Look says, the majority of this country's community leaders would not put a Communist in jail, would let him speak in public and would tolerate a freethinker's speech against religion. According to Look, while the American people were found to fear Communists, 30 per cent of those polled could not think of a single correct name of an investigator of Communism in Con gress, not even Senator McCarthy. The survey also found that younger people are more tolerant than older people, men are more tolerant than women, the better educated are more tolerant than the less educated, the Far West is more tolerant than the East and Middle West, the South is least tolerant, churchgoers are less tolerant than non-churchgoers, city people are more tolerant than rural people, community leaders are more tolerant than the public-at-large, American Legion com manders and DAR regents are more tolerant than the public-at-large,. much of "America's anti-intellectualism is religioui in origin."

S Noted Soloists To Play With Portland Group Portlan d Portland's new Symphony conductor, Theodore Bloomfield, will be joined next year by the strongest aggrega tion of soloists ever offered in one season of the Portland sym phony. The traditional ten-concert subscription series in the auditorium will open on October 31, 1955 and continue through March 26, 1956. Rudolf Serkin, noted pianist, who made his local debut with the symphony nearly 20 years ago and has not played with the orchestra since, will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mo zart's birth with a performance of two of that master's concertos with the orchestra. Mischa Elman, next year ob serving his 50th year in concerts, will play the Tchaikovsky Vio lin concerto in his first orches tral appearance here. Returning after several years absence, Wil liam Primrose will be viola solo ist in the Berlioz "Harold in Italy." One of the greatest opera stars of our time, and a great favorite with local audiences, is Licia Al banese, also making her orches tral debut here. Another great favorite locally is Isaac Stern, violinist, who appeared as a child prodigy in a Stadium sym phony concert, but will make his first adult solo appearance with the Portland Orchestra. New to Portland audiences is Leon Fleisher, the great young American pianist who won the most difficult of all interna tional prizes, the Ysaye Compe tition in 1952. A pupil and pro tege of Pierre Monteux and the late Arthur Schnabel, Fleisher ranks among the very greatest artists of the rising generation. Full information regarding season tickets is available at the Symphony office in the Park building. Despite the exceptional array of soloists, there will be no increase in ticket prices. In Play 4 Earl Tycksen. son of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Tycksen of route 1, Talent, was cast as Dr. Herbert Einstein in this year's major dramatic production, "Arsenic and Old Lace," at George Fox college.
